The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Dope1: The Chinese have bought the democrat party and they're getting a terrific return on investment: Billy Clinton gave them safe rocket technology and Most Favored Nation status...

Gee, you failed to mention that it was former president Reagan who first initiated the policy with China that later presidents followed or that former president George H. W. Bush approved nine satellite launches by China as a result of the Reagan policy or that Loral admited it gave the Chinese a written report about the cause of rocket failure during launch without official clearance. Ot that Pentagon officials said that the alleged harm to national security was "not significant or substantial ... about a one or two on a scale of ten."

As for Most Favored Nation status, the Senate vote was 83 YEAs, 15 NAYs, and 2 NOT VOTING. In the House the vote was 237 AYEs, 197 Nos, with 164 Republicans voting yes and 57 Democrats voting yes.

And fentanyl-related deaths have risen substantially in the past decade. The age-adjusted rate of overdose deaths increased by 31% from 2019 (21.6 per 100,000) to 2020 (28.3 per 100,000) during the Trump administration.

But, well, sure, it's all Biden's fault.
